I hate to go against the grain here but I have to. I knew you in high school (yes, that one at UI) so I have followed your blog for a while.

While your pictures are technically good, they lack a point of view. They are generic and not genuinely inspired. Perhaps, the "newness" of the Swedish landscape distracted you... perhaps not. However, to be a really great photographer or artist, you need a point of view that's engaging, original and "You".

I have seen way better landscape pics and having read your written work, I know you can do better.
